Representación de personajes, accesibilidad cognitiva y visionado televisivo: un estudio con niños y adolescentes
Keywords:
character representation, television series, children, adolescents, identificationAbstract
This study compares the cognitive categorization of characters in television series by a group of young girls and boys (N = 62, average age = 11 years old), and a group of teenagers (N= 63, average age = 14.5 years old). In order to carry out this study, each participant viewed an episode of a television series that exhibited high audience ratings within the designated age groups. Subsequent to viewing the episode, a semi-structured interview was carried out. Analyses show some relevant differences between the age groups with respect to accessibility and variability of features that provide content to the schemas. However, some common mechanisms are also identified in both groups, which are considered relevant for the study of television series understanding and identification processes. Some theoretical, research and practical implications are discussed.
